It’s raining outside and I’m about as demotivated as I’ve been in a while, so I started daydreaming about what triathlons I will be a part of next year, most likely as a coach giving a clinic, or as a swimmer on a relay. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

1. I’m seriously considering in February heading down to Mar Del Plata, Argentina and helping out with Mike Fraysse’s 10-day triathlon clinic. If I can get a few people to go with me, I can get most of my expenses paid. I think it will be an awesome time, and there’s a race at the end of the clinic.

2. St. Anthony’s in Florida. This one is in April and is a pretty huge Olympic distance race. The exciting thing to me for this one is that people truly come from all over the world to participate in this race, and there is prize money! Plus, Florida in April can’t be that bad, can it?

3. Wildflower California. This was the site of my very first triathlon, and a great event every year with thousands of participants. I’ve done the Olympic race twice, and had a blast both times. College students will be on the sidelines cheering the athletes on between beer bongs! There’s also nothing you can do but camp- the closest hotels are 90 minutes away. The only downside is the weather can be terrible! It’s in central CA in early May, so it can be anywhere from raining and cold, to 90 degrees plus!

4. Chicago Triathlon in late August. This is supposedly the largest triathlon in the world, and I’ve always wanted to check it out but have never made it

Next year, I will also do better in attending local southern California races, of which there are several on most weekends throughout the summer!

Any more ideas on races to attend would be appreciated!
